1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 cup chopped walnuts

For the frosting:

1 ½ cups butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat together the sugars, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined.

5. Slowly add the coffee, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8. To make the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla and coffee and beat until combined.

9. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake layers and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts.

10. Serve the cake immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
